Serial Number: JT16020763This is a demo model Gretsch guitar that is currently on display in the world renowned Gretschworld showroom at Cream City Music. The guitar is in nearly mint condition but does show evidence of being carefully handled and played a few times in our showroom. The guitar will ship as shown with full warranty and all the original factory documentation and packaging. We are authorized to give a great deal on our demo model Gretsch guitars! Our professional luthiers will fully inspect and set up the guitar before we ship. If you have any questions about this guitar or any of our great gear call us toll-free at 1-800-800-0087. This is the new Country Gentleman model G6122T-62 Vintage Select Edition from the Gretsch Professional Series. The G6122T-62 is most accurate reissue of the classic ’62 gent ever offered by the Gretsch! They’ve captured the vintage elegance of the “gent” perfectly while offering modern dependability and playability. The guitar now features a genuine nitrocellulose lacquer finish and TV Jones Classic Pickups. This guitar is constructed in the style of the classic "gents" of the early1960's. It features all the bells & whistles developed by Mr. Chet Atkins along with the ambitious designers at Gretsch. The ’62 spec Gent features simulated F-holes, “zero” fret and a rocking bar bridge. Gretsch slightly redesigned the dual mute system and it functions flawlessly. The tone switch circuitry used on new Gretsch guitars is also perhaps an improvement on the original designs with more useful tone roll-off settings. The humbucking TV Jones Classic pickups are the best choice if you’re looking for the most authentic vintage Gretsch tone. They offer classic warm and woody tone with tremendous balance and enhanced note definition. They sound fantastic clean but handle quite a bit of overdrive as well. From Chet Atkin’s style finger picking to hard driving blues and beyond these pickups deliver. We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
About the G6122T-62 (from Gretsch.com)Made famous by The Beatles’ George Harrison, the 1962 Country Gentleman is the sound of rock ‘n’ roll. The Vintage Select ‘62 Country Gentleman has the unmistakable sound and style that marked the beginning of a musical invasion. Sonically, this guitar is ready to tear it up with flexible tone that fits any musical situation.A pair of TV Jones® Classic pickups responds to every pick stroke or strum with refined, articulate tone. Traditional Gretsch controls—including per-pickup volume controls, master volume, a three-way tone switch—allow you to create countless tonal variations for a personalized tone. The new Gretsch “Squeezebox” paper-in-oil capacitors deliver silky vintage high end. The standard “U”-shaped maple neck bears a 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and zero-fret for a memorable playing experience that works with any style. The sealed body with simulated F Holes minimizes feedback while providing for authentically vintage tone. A pinned “rocking” bar bridge reacts in concert with the Bigsby B6GVT vibrato tailpiece for stable tuning while the bone nut lets the strings slide freely without binding in the slots.A true rock ‘n’ roll classic, this guitar features the appointments that made this guitar a legend—dual foam string mutes with red felt surrounds, standby switch, laminated 3-ply maple top with simulated F Holes, gold “G Arrow” control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, gloss urethane finish, aged pearloid thumbnail inlays, gold vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and gold Grover® Imperial™ tuning machines. A distinguished instrument from the earliest days of the British Invasion, the Vintage Select Edition 1962 Chet Atkins Country gentleman with Bigsby is the guitar that laid down the foundation of rock as we know it.Specs:Weight: 8lbs 5 oz (Approx)
